4. Prevents
Dehydration:
All pregnant women are
advised to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Dehydration can cause
premature contractions and lead to a premature birth. Watermelon contains more
than 90% water and eating it is a great way to stay hydrated.
5. Reduces
Muscle Cramps:
During pregnancy, a
woman’s body goes through wide array of changes. The extra weight and hormones
causes the muscles and bones to ache. Consuming watermelon in any of its forms
help the body cope better with these changes and ease muscle cramps.
6. Prevents Pigmentation:
Many pregnant women suffer from pigmented skin. This irritating problem can take away the
joy from pregnancy. Watermelons keep the bowel movements smooth and ease
digestion of food. This in turn affects the skin texture for good. Pigmentation
of skin in various parts of the body is minimized by regular cleansing of the
body. So eat watermelon for that glowing pregnant look!
Precautions
7. High
Glucose Content:
Excessive consumption of
watermelons can lead to high levels of blood glucose and in turn to gestational
diabetes. So avoid overeating anything, including watermelon during pregnancy.
8. Works as
a Cleanser:
Watermelon is good for all
internal organs in the body and keeps them in a healthy condition, but the body
needs other nutrients too. Using watermelon as a cleanser can flush out even
essential nutrients from the body. So avoid excessive consumption of
watermelon.
9. May Cause
Gastric Problem:
Watermelon spoils easily.
So avoid any form of watermelon that has stayed in the open for long as they
may cause gastrointestinal problems and lead to nausea and vomiting. Eat
freshly cut watermelons and fresh juice.
